1943 Evening Post, 5 July: In a fire which
occurred in a house next to the Central Fire Station yesterday morning,
two people received burns which necessitated their removal to hospital.
They were Mr. A. W. Burnett, the owner and occupier of the house, and Miss
M. Lothian, a visitor. Mrs. Burnett escaped unharmed. This afternoon the
hospital reported that Mr. Burnett's condition was improving and that Miss
Lothian's condition was satisfactory. The fire was noticed shortly before
9 a.m. yesterday by a fireman at the Central Fire Station and three
engines left at once for the house, which is at the back of the station,
at 16 Roxburgh Street. The fire apparently started in the, sitting-room on
the ground floor at the front, and it quickly spread through the open door
to the passage and up the stairs. The house is an old wooden one. All
three occupants were trapped upstairs by the spreading flames. Mr. Burnett
fought his way downstairs and a fireman kicked in the front door and
pulled him out. Miss Lothian jumped from a window about ten feet to the
ground, and Mrs. Burnett left the house by a fire escape at the rear. Fire
severely damaged the front of the house on the ground floor and heat and
smoke damaged the upper rooms.
